It reminds me of 10 years ago when everyone tried to make cheesy 3d wallpapers.I hope you get past this to the cool shit that you are capable of.

lol, i agree. This is definitely just a simply render, and I don't like overly plain desktops either. I've got some better ideas, this was just the first render of my Tux model. Stay tuned.

This is really beautiful! I read you rendered it using blender, is this available for linux also or is it windows/mac only?

Criticism: Tux stands out too much, doesn't feel like he fits in. I think it would be really cool and better if you worked on his materials, perhaps making him look like a plushy? You know a little furry.

Thank you Yes, Blender works very well on Linux, you can get it from the official arch repo ($ sudo pacman -S blender). This image was modeled and rendered entirely on Arch Linux using Blender + Gimp for some touch-ups (I would never make an Arch Linux wallpaper on Windows/Mac, that's sacrilege ).

Thanks for the criticism as well. Like I mentioned above, I'm working on a couple improvements and different designs already. I'll keep your suggestion in mine while designing them.

He probably stands out due to the use of FoV in the render, you should be able to take that out of you re-render it yourself.

hey nice work philip .one request can we get the wallpaper without the tux or only tux. Although you included the blender file but basically I suck at image editing.

Thanks! I'm working on a couple more ArchLinux/Tux wallpapers. One thing I don't like about this render is how grey and textureless the backdrop is (plus, the lighting/studio isn't perfect). Once I have those done I'll post some more and I'll keep your requests in mind. This scene takes my machine ~1hr to render at 1080p so I'd like to fix a few things before I start doing a bunch of renders.

I've included the source .blend (Blender) file for those that want to tweek it.
